Homefront’s PC version was developed by Digital Extremes, a Canadian developer responsible for numerous Unreal Tournament games and Bioshock ports. It received mixed reports, although Kitguru really likes the single player aspect of this title. The engine isn’t the most demanding on the market, but it requires decent partnering hardware for solid frame rates at 1080p.
A fun game to play and it looks great with the AMD HD7970 at these high settings. No performance problems either, averaging well over 70 frames per second.
Nice system this would make. The 7970 is brilliant and the motherboard seems well made, much like everything sapphire do. I dont really like their bioses however as I think they are adopting a different style of overclocking than everyone else with those mv. why not just make it core voltage and have direct keying in on the field like everyone else?
Sapphire are trying hard in the motherboard arena, they face such stiff competition however that they would need to focus on getting their pricing down. The Z68 board for instance cost more here than many of the ASUS products, and I dont think it sold very well
I am waiting on toxic or vaporx card from sapphire before buying a 7970. The AMD reference coolers suck, even this one, which I hear is better.
Motherboard looks ok, I like the fact Sapphire seem to be making everything themselves, including their custom bios configurations.
They seem to make good boards and I would buy one, but they seem hard to get in the UK even if I wanted to.
Didnt even know they made motherboards!
Hope they release a good VaporX edition soon. those reference cards dont appeal to me at all.
